Sorry, but it was even more dagerous because he used his religious views to abuse his power in justifying invading another country, it gets no worse than that!

That being said, at what point does a person say, this my beliefs are not in accordance with the teaching of this church - is it time to find another one or can I work within this institution to turn it around?

It's a very personal decision.
You are right it is a personal decision. One Obama made and it showed us how he thinks and on which he agrees with. The rev. stepped down from Obama's official support team but has made it clear in all his actions that he is friends with anti semitic people and even visits enemy's of the US.
So this is the hope and change Obama thinks about and even used a quote from his spiritual leader and "oncle" for his best selling book. All actions show what Obama stands for and it is a scary one but luckily it will soon be over because I know the American people are smarter than this and Obama will soon stepp down or lose, and his political career will end soon. IMO

I asked you about a link to where this can be read, but you have no proof it seems to me.
Just facts please.
I'm not saying a war is good or George Bush did everything right but it wasn't George Bush flying planes into the World Trade Center, these people were terrorists and muslims. Reality...

Um, if you take a look below the post when you first asked for the info another poster posted it...take a look again or are trus facts just too much for you to bear. Kind of like how you sya that Obama was sworn in on the Koran or that he has family that are PLO members, unlike Bush's comments...there are no proof of those.

The reality is that 9/11 was comitted by people who were not even in Iraq. What made it so bad is that Buh made these comments about correcting the "tyrrany" in Iraq, not to find the people who committed the 9/11 crimes.

That's reality!

No Iraqis flew those planes. They were Saudis and we're still on friendly terms with the Saudis -- or Bush is.

DONT MATTER! one thing i learned is republicans and their people can say what they want but when it comes to someone that is a democrat esp a black person they get scrutinized for telling the truth, this goes toshow thatamericans are brain washed, and i kinda got mad obama distanted himself from wright. just to appeal tothe masses but thats whatyouhaveto do if you want to be president like theone we have in office now!

read between the lines of what he said before you make blanket statements and do the research!

your right obama is trying to move along butthe real racist wont....they ratheruse a smear campaign
